moles of electrons transferred during reduction
M^n+ + n e- –> M solid
1 F=
96000 C or J/V
electrodeposition equation
mol of metal =It/nF
I is current t is time
“calculating the moles of a metal is not fun”
standard emf of cell
E cell = E red, cathode- E red, anode (don’t use coeff)
standard change in free energy from standard emf
delta G= -nFEcell
unit is J because F in J so be careful
nernst equation
E of cell non standard= E cell std - (RT/nF)(ln Q)
nernst simple
E cell nonstandard= E cell std - 0.06/n log Q
at 298 K
reaction quotient Q
Q= [C]^c [D]^d / [A]^a [B]^b
standard change in free energy from keq
delta G= -RT ln Keq
free energy change nonstandard
delta G= delta G std + RT ln Q
the more positive E red,
the more likely to be reduced
peroxide
H2O2
and O has an ox number of -1
LEO GER
and Red cat AnOx
electron flow
A to C
current flow
C to A
galvanic cell
cathode is + and anode is -
spontaneous -G
+ emf
the more + Ered is the cathode
electrolytic cell
cathode is - and anode is +
not spontaneous (outside source) + G
-emf
the more + Ered is the anode
cations attracted to the
cathode
anions attracted to the
anode
concentration cell
galvanic cell where electrons flow to the more concentrated side where they react
lead acid battery
low energy density
Ni Cd replaced by
Ni Hydride battery
